OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS
CUSTOMIZING HAND/FOOT STRAP LENGTH
Ideal hand/foot strap length will vary depending on your height and limb length. To determine your ideal
hand/foot strap length, begin by placing the hand/foot straps over the shoulder rests as shown below.
Adjust the hand/foot straps so they are taut. For complete hand/foot strap length adjustment instructions,
see additional Hand/Foot Strap Length Adjustment instructions in this Owner's Manual.
Next, lie on the reformer with your hands in the straps with shoulders against the shoulder rests. Reach
your hands toward the ceiling until they are directly over the back edge of the reformer carriage as shown
in the photo below. In this position, the reformer carriage should be at rest with no tension on the ropes. If
there is still tension on the ropes in this position, lengthen the hand/foot straps. If you lose tension before
reaching the arm position shown below, shorten the hand/foot straps.
